Glad for the turtles that the moorings are helping. Do the moorings use chains too (and just don’t get dragged like the anchors) or are they using a special floating kind of tether?
Fair Winds Laughing Gull & crew! I envy you the escape from the as-depicted governmental nightmare....stay safe and enjoy.
I believe there are some utilizations of social media that can assist in transferring information that more people need to see (and would be interested in), such as what you display here. ~J
Appreciated, Janice. I wasn't originally out here to escape the Mad King's lunacy,but the timing is good. So far I am excluding Substack from the general category of social media, because it doesn't have a profit and revenue strategy that requires an algorithm to aggregate hate, violence and conflict to keep people clicking. But of course that is a self-serving judgement.
The Tim I remember from college days was kind, warm, empathetic, polite and helpful, perhaps a bit oblivious of the extent of his privilege, but never arrogant and always fun -- definitely a great guy with a wonderful heart.
My heart was broken in November as well and I crumbled and cried in shame with Vance's Munich speech and as Trump and Vance bullied Zelenski, but I am heartened by the widespread protests and rallies even in red districts across the country. Perhaps we will reemerge stronger b/c we are a more united and fairer country. In the meantime, I agree that irreparable harm could/will befall the planet, Ukraine and the many countries that relied on us for foreign aid.
Safe, fun travels across the Atlantic! Would love to catch up sometime soon!
Ah, Leslie. You are proving that you are the kind one. Definitely oblivious, and definitely not always considerate of my neighbors--afloat or on land. But I am happy if I was at all as you remember. Lots to ponder across a few thousand miles of ocean. Perhaps by the time I arrive, the backlash will have kicked in and if I am hopeful I will hope that it is powerful enough to propel America toward a new progressivism that actually meets the moment. Yes, let's catch up sometime!
The mooring chains are lifted off the seafloor by floats, so they don't drag on the bottom.
